Massey 1652 Tractor

I am seriously considering purchasing a Massey 1562 tractor. I have done a lot of research and narrowed it done to this tractor. The only thing I am unsure of is what transmission to pick. The HST or power shuttle. I will be primarily using this tractor for mowing and pushing snow and maybe some field work.

Re: Massey 1652 Tractor

The better half will operate it time to time. Still undecided on the type of transmission. I have been reading on sites that the HST makes a whining noise that is noticeable in the cab. I will need to go to the dealership to try one. Did you do any research on the HST before your purchase?

Powershuttle hands down. No clutch needed except to start and change gears. Or go for the gusto and get DynaQPS. The shuttle requires no clutching, easy to use as a hydro, and no where near as noisy - hydro whine.

Thanks,

Will

I have it narrowed down to two choices - F150 SCrew 3.5EB 4x4 or F250 CC 6.2 4x4.

I have the 1652 Dyna QPS w/ power shuttle. It gets used for plowing snow, mowing, loader work and field work tedding and raking hay. The power shuttle is perfect for loader work. I don't have the hydrostatic so I can't speak for that, but I have no complaints with my set up.
